Exploding blocks and complex objects

Exploding blocks and complex objects

Exploding objects converts composite objects back to their constituent parts. For example, exploding such objects as polylines or rectangles reverts them to simple lines and arcs. A block is exploded to a set of constituent objects.
One operation of the Explode command explodes composite objects by one level only. When exploding a block that contains a polyline, the polyline needs to be exploded separately.

To explode objects

1. Select block or vector object to explode.
2. Choose Explode from the Modify menu or press the button on the Modify toolbar.
